Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1887-12-08

One of the old-time rebelling butchers
has placed large placard in front of his
shop, on which appears in fsring letters
1--WE do not kill Texas cattle; we do not
sell Kansas City meat This declara-
ton what we don't do, and what
we won't do, rather than what we
do, what we will do, and what we should
do, has been one of the characteristics of
the butchers comprising the kicking asso
citation from the first. If the Rock ISL
and butchers had been willing to let
their customers know what kind of cattle
they did kill, and what kind of meat they
did sell, the people OF Rock Island
would have stood by them. The people
have a right by law to know these things;
they have just right to know what
| they are eating, and have q right to de-
mand that their meat be inspected, both
before and after it is slaughtered, and the
ARGUS proposes to stand by the people
in asserting this right The consumer
does not care anything about what his
butcher don't kill or don't sell; what he
wants to know is what his butcher does
kill and what he does SELL and this is
what has caused the whole trouble be
tween the butchers and the people.
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1887-12-08

Meigs Waite, the well known cattle
buyer OF Reynolds, in an interview with
an ARGUS representative this morning
remarked; Il see you have shops here
for the sale of Armour & Company
Kansas City meats; l want TO tell you
that the people Of Rock Island are for
tunate in having an opportunity to buy
the Armour & Company fresh meats.
speak from experience when l say that
there is no healthier, cleaner or fresher
meat found in this country than that
which is sold by Armour's agents.
l have been in Kansas City where the
inspecting IS done, both before and after
killing, and can say that the meat il
wholesome and pure.
And Rock Island now has three shop.
